Welcome!

At Shop Fresh Poetry, Mary will carefully craft a poem for any occasion — working with you throughout the entire process. This poem is designed especially for you; there is none other like it.

Why would you want to embark on such an enterprise?

Maybe you’re unhappy with the local newspaper’s obituary for Aunt Martha. It was the usual cut-and-dry chronological listing of events in her life. You would like a portrait of your favorite relative that will make her come alive to you once again in memory — and with imagination.

Or perhaps you’ve made a gigantic gaff with your one-and-only. Mary will help you mend those tender fences and get things back on track.

The process usually includes an interview, research and the execution of the work.
